Morn'n dump run

Boy howdy, what a difference a day can make. Have ya ever load up the truck an' go to the dump? Don't go think'n I loaded a bunch of trash in the back of the "billy jeep", but I'm sit'n slap in the middle the dumps this morn'n. In other words, "I don't give a crap".

Ok, the Onan generator. The air filter is perfectly clean. I checked it so I know. The oil was changed less than 4 months ago. Speak'n of oil changes, I change oil and oil filter in the Onan once a year....rather it needs it or not. That's something like bout 75 to 100 hours between changes. The fuel filter was changed bout 5 years ago along with a new fuel pump. So, that only leaves a few itty bitty maintenance items. "Google your best friend" told me to decarb the engine and muffler. Replace spark plugs. Possible valve adjustment. Clean carburetor. But guess what....I ain't gonna do it today.

Oh god, it's Walmart day already. I run slap out of meds again an' I got me a half of a shop'n list done. And guess who lives across the street from Walmart? Home Depot. That's where they sell "project" parts ya know. Go back an' read first paragraph.....

Son Robert gifted me with a new chefs knife yesterday. My old one was 7 years old, handle is loose, won't sharpen. Now I can cut my hot dogs in half an' make me some hot dog sammiches.

I took Gypsy's advice last night an' sit in my office chair. I sleeped like a hunnert dollar bill. Speak'n of that couch, I contacted my best friend last night....Google. He tole me the foam rubber I bought was a cheap grade that will do just what it's do'n......make a big hole to sit my ass in. An' remain that way in case I want to sit down again in the next 2 hours. It's called "sag". Grrrrrrr...to sag.

Ok, Robert is off to Dallas Texas on a electric job. Be gone till the 28th. Now who the hell is gonna help their daddy fix stuff? A slim possibility Billy will show up Wednesday.....but I wouldn't bet over a quarter. Billy is a good worker, but ya gotta keep a constant eye on him. He breaks stuff. Remember many many years ago I bought the kids some Tonka toys? Billy was given the dump truck 'cause it had only 1 moving part. He broke it in less than an hour. Tonka toys don't break.  

Another day of nuttin excit'n to talk bout. But wait.....ya never know.

  3. Float level is off. Float needle and seat dirty and will not shut off gas when you stop the gen. Gas leaks by and causes a flooded condition until it runs a while and cleans itself out. Clean or replace the needle and seat...... Your welcome..

  5. Billy---take a look see at the 8" memory foam single bed mattress that Wally World has on the internet. I too have refoamed my couch about 1 1/2 years ago and it sucked !! Just redid it with the afformentioned foam even though I had to recut it to size and it's WONDERFUL !!!! I had it shipped to store and when I picked it up it was rolled tightly into a sleeping bed size. I thought this can't be right !! When I opened it grew & grew & grew !! Directions said let it set a few days. They were correct !! Now, when I sit/lay on it I can see it recover every day. I is happy, happy!!

  6. I am a recliner person. Haven't had a couch/sofa in eight years. Bought a "layflat" recliner. That is the key, my previous one went back just enough to kill my neck if I fell asleep in it. This ones goes all the way back and has good filling. I sleep just as well in it as I do in my bed. And it takes up a lot less room.
